About CECCAR
Established in 1921, the Body of Expert and Licensed Accountants of Romania is
public interest, with a remarkable evolution at national level, being represented in all the
42 counties of our country by means of its territorial subsidiaries.
Along its extraordinary history, CECCAR had several development stages during
the inter-war period, the communist period and the post-revolutionary period. As far
as the post-revolutionary period is concerned, other three stages can be distinguished:
“rebirth and childhood”, during 1990-1999, “artisan of the liberal profession”, during
2000-2009, and starting with 2010 the Body entered the “maturity” period, characte!""""""

economy and the European and international accounting profession.
International cooperation has been and remains the key of the successes
achieved by CECCAR, which are based upon application of the International Federation
of Accountants (IFAC) standards, directives and recommendations of the European Commission and directions established by the manager of the accounting profession at the
European Union level, the Federation of European Expert Accountants (FEE).
The Body supports and promotes high-quality professional practices through a
special concern for the competence, aptitudes and ethics of those involved in the profession. Due to its fundamental commandments, CECCAR provides quality assurance
of the services supplied by its members, guarantees initial education and continuous
development of the professional accountants, and oversees knowledge and application of
ethics and deontological conduct of the professional accountants.
By the activities it carries out, the Body encourages professional accountants to
observe the moral values required for this profession, monitors that Romanian professional accountants, through the services they provide, always meet market requirements, business environment requirements and public interest.

ª Message of the President of CECCAR,
Univ. Prof. Marin Toma, PhD
We came to the end of anot"nomic year, when expert and licensed accountants
faced numerous economic and social challenges,
responding to them with the unanimously recognised competence and responsibility, as they have
been permanently connected with high professional
and ethical standards. We can assert, without fear
$ "
$$$""
in the most eloquent manner, the everlasting virtues of the professional Body which we belong to
through vocation and civic determination. It is the
most remarkably proven fact, in the year we ended,
by the actions dedicated to the celebration of nine
decades since CECCAR was established.
The 90 year history of CECCAR proved and
proves to be, more and more evident as time goes
by, an endless source of inspiration, a spring of the

$"""$out knowing and cherishing the most valuable elements from the past. This arch over time, “rebuilt”
by the CECCAR anniversary, offered everybody
the opportunity to realistically assess the potential
we have and to mobilise ourselves for its best appreciation.
In essence, this year’s manifestations brought
to the centre of attention the determination of the
expert and licensed accountants, members of the
most powerful professional organisation in Romania, to contribute to ending the recession and, further, the crisis of the Romanian economy, to exemplarily serving the general interest, the national

through our special concern for conceiving and
promoting the accounting profession as an irreplaceable tool of consistent support for Romania’s
economic and social modernisation process, in a
world undergoing dramatic changes. We serve the
cause of enriching the culture of the accounting
profession through its own values, values which
are focused on education, ethics and quality. We
are also committed to improving the activity of the
institutions that assure the rise of these values.We
are aware of the fact that, under conditions of the
current crisis, accountancy culture has been deeply
shattered, so the support granted by CECCAR,
practically and not at declarative level, to the process of accelerating the authentic reforms, grounded on the economic and social rationality, is fully
righteous. Such support is provided insomuch as

included on the Body’s portfolio at the end of this
anniversary year, namely:
ª Strong infrastructure of the profession:
- it is one of the biggest and strongest
professional bodies in Europe, with a remarkable development at the territorial
level, having one subsidiary for each administrative region;
- each of the 42 subsidiaries has its own
headquarters and it is provided with modern conditions for carrying out its activity in the members’ interest;
- it has an impressive capacity of developing professional standards and guidance
that represent technical supports for the
members.
ª Great capacity of satisfying the public interest:
- about 60,000 members capable of
playing the role of “sanitarians” of
the enterprises, especially for the
Small and Medium-sized Entities;
- an optimal governing structure, dimensioned so that it provides normalization of the profession and
realization of its fundamental commandments: education, ethics and
quality.
ª A proper collaboration and cooperation with the governmental institutions
(especially with the Ministry of Public Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of
Education and the Ministry of Labour), with
other authorities and professional organisms,

of Commerce, the Chamber of Financial Auditors,
the Association of Assessors, and with the business
environment in Romania (the Alliance of Romanian

Union of Industrialists of Romania – UGIR, the National Council of Small and Medium Sized Private
Enterprises in Romania – CNIPMMR, etc.).
For these achievements, I must congratulate,

elected and executive structures of the Body, who
applied the necessary measures, which have not
always been pleasant for the members, as well as
all the organisations and institutions that the Body
collaborated with in the last year.
With these thoughts, I would like, my esteemed and dear colleagues, on behalf of the Superior Council of CECCAR, and mine personally, to
warmly congratulate you for the results achieved
in 2011 and to wish you, from the bottom of my
heart and with the most sincere feelings of deference and appreciation, great success in your activities for 2012!

About CECCAR
ª Mission of the professional accountant
member of CECCAR
SUCCESS
CECCAR supports and promotes the high level international practices, regulates the activities and the conduct of its members, develops and consolidates the accounting profession in order
to serve the public interest. Therefore, the accounting specialist, always being in the centre of the
activity of an enterprise where the interests of the shareholders, clients, suppliers and employees are
many times divergent, has the mission to offer a synthetic mirror of the activity, based on the real
"$"
decisions.
The fundamental objectives of CECCAR are the following:
9 Quality assurance of the services provided by its members;
9 Initial education and continuous development of the professional accountants;
9 Ethics and deontological conduct of the professional accountants.

About CECCAR
The achievement of these objectives implies meeting four fundamental requirements:
1.
Credibility. The entire society needs reliability of information and information systems.
2.
Professionalism. The clients, business owners and other stakeholders need to be able
""!!"!"Y
3.
Quality of services. There is need for assurance that all services obtained from the
professional accountant are provided at the highest performance standard.
4.
Trust. Users of the services provided by the professional accountants must be able to
believe that there is a professional ethics framework that governs the provision of such
services.
The Body of Expert and Licensed Accountants of Romania has become, in time,
a solid institute, organised according to European models, recognised as being the organisation that owns the power and capacity to assume and transpose the international
accounting standards in national standards.

CECCAR supports the development of SMEs
4. CECCAR SUPPORTS
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMEs
BY CONTRIBUTING TO THE
CONSOLIDATION OF
THE ROMANIAN ECONOMY
Small and Medium-sized Entities (SMEs)
play an essential role in the economy of a
country. They are a source of entrepreneurial skills, innovation and job creation. Their
capacity to apply, adapt and share new technologies, as well as creating and developing
them, is unique. Freeing the whole potential
of SMEs is a crucial part in the strategy of
the European Union on maintaining prosperity and high quality employers, as well as
that of our country, as a European Union
member.
Beside the merit of having contributed to the establishment of a stronger and stronger private
